wwii threat pact
There used to be the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. There used to be Soviet troops in the GDR. And we must honestly admit that they were occupation troops, which remained in Germany after WWII under the guise of allied troops. Now these occupation troops are gone, the Soviet Union has collapsed, and the Warsaw Pact is no more. There is no Soviet threat, but NATO and U.S. troops are still in Europe. What for?
discipline enemy fit
A foreign threat is useful to put things in order in one's own camp, to make one's allies follow the bloc discipline. Iran does not fit this role too well, and it is very tempting to revive Russia's image of the enemy. But nobody in Europe is afraid anymore.
strong past financial
We have issued financial instruments in the past, and there is a strong demand for them, it is simply unnecessary now.
world today natural
The European Union's enlargement is part of the natural process of integration and globalisation that is underway in the world today.
giving kind various
My job is not only to give medals, you know, which certainly is part of my function. First and foremost, though, my job is about ensuring success of the work in various spheres. It is a kind of day-to-day spadework.
struggle natural contractor
Contractors always pursue large profit, the customer - a high-quality end product in due time and at a lower cost. This struggle never ends, but this is natural.
military president protection
In 2009, US President [Barack] Obama said that the missile defense only serves as protection from Iranian nuclear missiles. But now there is an international treaty with Iran that bans Tehran from developing a potential military nuclear project.
community attention
There is no need to distract the attention of the community from the essence of the subject substituting it with secondary questions dealing with the search of those who did it [hacker's attacks].
victory soviet-union soviet
NATO and the USA wanted a complete victory over the Soviet Union. They wanted to sit on the throne in Europe alone.
reality world modern
The UN, of course, must also adapt to modern demands and take into account the reality of the modern world in its work.
community united-nations
It is clear that the international community has no other universal organisation of the likes of the United Nations.
timing economy point-of-view
There is no need for the Russian state to hold such large stakes and we do intend to put our plans into practice. It is not about whether we want it or not, it is about this being practical or not and the best timing. In general, it is practical from at least one point of view - from the point of view of structural changes in the economy.
protect committed
Under the international agreements, the Russian peacekeepers are committed to protect the population of South Ossetia.
people united-nations charter
Of course one always has to follow international law. This was also the case in Crimea. According to the Charter of the United Nations, every people has the right to self-determination.
